SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO UTILIZE SMART COMPONENTS
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a receiving module, implemented using one or more processors, configured to receive a maintenance message, over a network, from a mobile device, the maintenance message is received by a network-based marketplace and is associated with a first user, the maintenance message further including part log information including a timestamp and characterization information, the characterization information is received by the mobile device from a component in a vehicle, the component including a sensor that senses a first part that is assembled into the vehicle, the component to generate the characterization information based on a sense of the first part, as sensed by the sensor, and to communicate the characterization information to the mobile device;
a processing module, implemented using one or more processors, configured to identify user profile information, at the network-based marketplace, based on the maintenance message, the user profile information being associated with the first user on the network-based marketplace and the mobile device, the processing module configured to store the part log information in the user profile information at the network-based marketplace, the processing module configured to compare the part log information that corresponds to the first part in the user profile information, at the network based marketplace, with corresponding part maintenance information to generate a service level for the first part; and
a smart component engine, implemented using one or more processors, configured to receive a triggering event, at the network-based marketplace, the triggering event being associated with the first user, the smart component engine configured to process the triggering event responsive to receipt of the triggering event, the smart component engine configured to process the triggering event to initiate an electronic commerce activity based on the service level for the first part.

Abstract
Systems and methods to utilize smart components are described. The system receives a maintenance message from a mobile device at a network-based marketplace. The maintenance message includes part log information including a timestamp and characterization information. The characterization information is received by the mobile device from a component in a vehicle that includes a sensor that senses a first part that is assembled into the vehicle and generates the characterization information based on the sense of the sensor. The component communicates the characterization information to the mobile device that, in turn, communicates the maintenance message to network-based marketplace. The system identifies user profile information based on the maintenance message and stores the part log information in the user profile information at the network-based marketplace. The system compares the part log information with part maintenance information and receives a triggering event to initiate an electronic commerce activity.
